You are not the only one! I have a wireless network set up, and now the
adaptor has passed away. Back to the old cat5. Remember in XP, the workgroup
name was MSHOME; in vista the workgroup name is WORKGROUP. Change the
workgroup name in XP to WORKGROUP, reboot, and it works. Right-click on my
computer, left click properties,, left click: computer name, change name,
change workgroup name
